Philip Larkin	A
	-
Poets Larkin some of us became	B
for no more reason than a face	C
in a book or a strange name	B
we recognized and learned to trace	C
	-
through poetry anthologies	D
we bought in second hand shops	E
Your work never seemed to please	D
anyone I knew but my bus stops	E
	-
in the same sort of neighborhood	F
a couple of bars a flower store	G
a pharmacy where it's understood	F
evening's the best time to score	G
	-
and so I read about your rooms	H
rented by the week your trips	I
to Blackpool the dusty tombs	H
in old churches the way strips	I
	-
of wallpaper halfway falling	J
from bathroom ceilings never	K
let go entirely Calling	J
myself a poet's not been a clever	K
	-
thing to do but calling you one	L
made me feel better sometimes	M
I put the book down now done	L
admiring your effacing rhymes	M
	-
and pull the chain and think	N
while pulling up my pants I'll	O
duck around the corner for a drink	N
and maybe some chick with style	O
	-
will be there waiting for some guy	P
I used to know and on the strength	Q
of that I'll say hello and buy	P
her a drink and down the length	Q
	-
of the bar our reflections	R
in the mirror won't seem half bad	S
Unmarred by the imperfection	L
of her waiting to be had	S
	-
by someone else she'll smile	O
and I'll slowly let my hand	T
wander along her thigh while	O
we converse she'll understand	T
	-
it's nothing just another way	U
to pass the time until the guy she's	D
waiting for comes in today	U
he's passed four scrips Her knees	D
	-
shift properly and off they go	V
to snort and sniff and make a run	L
downtown to sell some reds They know	V
I'm straight these days and not much fun	L
	-
to be with anymore Most nights	W
I end up sitting in my room	X
reading a book with all the lights	W
turned off but one a kind of gloom	X
	-
I've almost grown accustomed to	Y
Sometimes I think I see your face	C
there in the shadows shot through	Y
with nothingness and in no place	C
	-
at all a state you always knew	Y
you'd come to by and by	P
empty and featureless and blue	Y
and clearly not a kind of sky	P
